I'm very interested in developing things related to reflection, but maybe I
don't have the complete information to estimate the times for each
possibility. Particularly I think that would be good to reuse the maximum
qty of code from Extensions.. and apply that.

Could anybody help me with that? I mean, determining the scope of the
proposal.

I prefer to do something that could be closed in the three months with good
quality, instead of doing something with a lot of features but not complete.

Thanks!
